Boggia - Sometimes there’s Shows in April

No Comments 04 April 2001

Hey Cats and Kittens,

This month I package myself up in three different boxes and jump on the
shelf of live music in hopes that you might put me in your shopping cart
of audiencial love.

First up, another wild night tomorrow (4.5.01) with me and Ben Arnold
upstairs at Bobby G’s. What more can be said about our Thursday nights
at Bobby’s that you haven’t already read in the Police Blotter section
of the newspaper? Um, not much. Come out - you’ll have fun.

Next Friday, no NOT two days from now, that’s this Friday, NEXT Friday
(4.13.01) I appear with everybody’s favorite new Manayunk Supergroup - 4
Way Street (that’s me, Ben, Joseph Parsons and Scott Bricklin) at the
Temperance House in Newtown. I don’t really know where that is, but
someone’s picking me up and driving me so I’m not worried about it.

If you’d like to hear a sample of what you’ll be hearing there, call
WXPN during either Michaela’s or Helen’s shows and ask them to play one
of the live 4 Way Street selections from our North Star throwdown. I
know how helpful it would be for me to include ‘XPN’s phone number here,
but I’m already running so late you wouldn’t believe it (I’m still
trying to finish 1993) and you probably know it anyway.

Finally, remember when I used to have a band that played my songs with
me? Well freshen your memory Thursday, April 19th (4.19.01) at the Grape
Street Pub. Not only will I be there with my band (Mike Frank, Erik
Johnson, Kevin Hanson and Scott Bricklin), but Kevin and Erik will do
double duty and be joined by Jim Stager for a Kevin Hanson set. AND our
friends from way back when, the Electric Farm are returning and Mike
will probably jump up onstage with them, so how could you miss this?

Finally, The Recap:
Thursday, April, 5, 2001 - 10p
Bobby G’s - Roxborough, PA

April. It’s Thrice the Fun! (TM)
Jim

BTW, My scheduled April 16th at the Bitter End in nyc has been postponed
due to the fact that then I would have four gigs in April and I spent a
lot of money on “Thrice the Fun” t-shirts and bumper stickers.

4 Way Street - 2.9.01 @ North Star - Philadelphia, PA

No Comments 05 February 2001

Greetings Poetry Lovers,

This Friday, 2.9.01, 4 Way Street will be performing at the North Star
Bar in Philadelphia.

Anyone who was at our first 4WS show at the Point in December, we hope
to see you again for another great night, this time with the added bonus
of Erik Johnson on drums. Anyone who missed the Point show, this would
be a great opportunity to catch a pretty special musical event that will
not be often repeated in Philadelphia.

Scott Bricklin, Ben Arnold, Joseph Parsons and I all hope to see you
Friday night. Amy in Space opens, so come early.

The Recap:
Friday, 2.9.2001 - 10p
North Star Bar
27th and Poplar Streets - Philadelphia, PA
215.922.5483
4 Way Street (with Amy in Space)
$8

Ok, so here’s the deal. I wanted to make sure that I got word on this
show out to you all in plenty of time for you to write us into your busy
social schedules. Unfortunately, I don’t really have anything witty up
my sleeve to put in this email. So, write it down now, and if I’m so
inspired, I will send another more humorous email later in the week.

Thanks for your understanding,
Jim

The Return of Bobby’s

No Comments 29 January 2001

Hey All,

A big thanks to everyone who came out the past few Thursdays to the Fire
- I had a very nice time and wonderful turnouts. It was an encouraging
start to the year.

Now, this Thursday (2.1.01), it is time to bring back a tradition
started way back in the year 2000. Those of you old enough to remember
that far back will know what I’m talking about - yes - The Ben
Arnold/Jim Boggia Thursday night extravaganza/variety show/fiasco at
Bobby G’s.

What is it about Thursday nights at Bobby’s that sets our collective
heart aflutter?

* It could be the great special guests, which for our February throwdown
means Todd Barneson, who is our all-time favorite Wisconsin ex-patriot
singer/songwriter/guitarist/mandolin player (and the competition in that
category is stiff).

* It could be that Bobby turns over his second floor to us in an
ill-advised act of faith, leaving us to entertain you without the
encumbering shackles of “the man” breathing down our necks.

* It could be having our good friend and housemate Denise behind the
bar, making it seem that much more like a home away from home (and
keeping our bar tabs low).

* It could be that having this “home away from home” located 93 paces
away from our “home at home” means that I can leave for a 10p show at
precisely 9:58p (and it is a lot less of a drag when I forget my capo).

* It could be the comaradarie of the friendly folks who come out, except
that I’m not really sure how to spell camaraderie.

* It could be many other things, but my damn wireless keyboard is
crapping out so badly that I have completely lost my creative flow.

Whatever it is, The Ben and Jim Thursday night series at Bobby’s (this
year the 1st Thursday of each month) is pretty much unlike anything
else, if only for the reason that we can’t get away with it anywhere but
Bobby’s. Come see for yourself this Thursday at 10p (I’ll be arriving at
9:59p).

The Recap:
Thursday, 2.1.01 - 10p
Bobby G’s
6800 Ridge Avenue - Roxborough, PA
215.482.1877
with Todd Barneson

Don’t forget the 4 Way Street show a week from this Friday at the North
Star.

Thanks,
Jim

Remember, you can do this everyday!
